Tronix Explorer

Photographers will always have to face a situation of shooting outdoors. Most often, in locations where electricity is not always available and when natural light isn't just enough. Solutions to these problems, if you are going to bring your lighting equipment out on location, include long, unwieldy extension cables, gas-powered generators or inverters. Going with battery-powered inverter is the easiest and most flexible solution.

But, how you do you know which one, among the commercially available products in the market, is the smart choice? There are other inverters in the market today, which ranges from USD100 to USD1000, or in some cases, even more. Depending on the built or brand of your gear. But generally, some people are fine with something that just works flawlessly.

Inverters convert the DC (direct current) from a battery source to an AC (alternating current). There are several types of inverters, and they differ on the voltage output. Some have the square wave, modified and the pure sine wave. But for photography lighting applications, pure sine wave inverters are a must. Since the electronics of the monoblocks (studio flash) or powerpacks are quite sensitive and complex, they need to be powered with a pure sine wave voltage input. In simple terms, a voltage output similar to what we get from our 110V or 220V convenience outlet. Otherwise, it will fry the electronics out or will have long-term ill-effects on the monoblocks or powerpacks.

This is where Tronix Explorer battery packs come in. Specially designed to power up flashes/monoblocks for on-location or outdoor photo shoots.

Using the specially designed inverter technology and SLA battery combination, the new Tronix Explorer products are significant leaps from the previous product models.

Tronix Explorer 500Li- Light, Versatile, and Reliable - (The lightest Explorer yet) It weighs 4.7 kg (around 10 lbs, battery pack and built-in charger included. For a discerning photographer shooting on-location or outdoors, the all-new Tronix Explorer 500Li Pure Sine Wave Inverter can seamlessly power multiple bi-voltage/digital/analog flash units or monolights, even set at full power. It is rated at 500watts continuous (recommende up to 2400ws instantaneous) and powered by LiFePO4 Li-ion battery. It can provide around 350 flashes using a 400ws monolight (ref: Elinchrom DliteIT 4), or around 700 flashes with a spare battery and at recycling time close to that of the wall socket. See video.

Tronix Explorer XT3 - High Power and Fast Reaction - If you are the type of photographer that uses high-powered (800ws/1000ws+) flashes or powerpacks, and often, at full power settings. Or that you need faster recycling time to capture fast moving sequences - Tronix Explorer XT3 would be perfect for you. Rated at 800watts (continuous) and recommended up to 2400ws, it is the most powerful Tronix Explorer battery pack yet. Designed for powerful compacts/strobes, at fast recycle times (at full power, as fast as to wall socket recycling time). Tronix Explorer XT3 can power up more than 2 bi-voltage compacts/strobes. (For regular strobes (analog/digital), 6 to 8 units are OK). See video.

Tronix Explorer XT SE - Mid Power and Flexibility - If you are working with low to mid power lighting settings, (occasionally at high power) and needs to capture more frames, then Tronix Explorer XT SE would be your ideal unit.Though it may not give the fast recycling time compared to Exp XT3, its recycling time is decent enough in most photo shoots. Rated at 350watts (continuous) and recommended up to 2400ws, it can give around 500 full power pops (for Elinchrom BXRI500). At lower power settings, it can give more pops at faster recycling times. The Explorer XT SE was designed to power up bi-voltage compacts. (For regular strobes (analog/digital), 6 to 8 units are OK). See video.

Tronix Explorer Mini - Quick and Easy - If you are off to a quick and easy photo shoot and requires a light battery pack power, then Tronix Explorer Mini would be your best bet. Rated at 400watts (continuous) and recommended up to 1200ws, and weighs around 5kg. Despite its small size, it packs the power with its ability to power up 1 or 2 mid-powered compacts/strobes, especially bi-voltage compacts. For a 500ws bi-voltage compact, such as an Elinchrom BXRI500, it can give around 180 to 200 full power pops. See video. Top reasons on choosing Tronix Explorer Mini.

Tronix Explorer models are plug and play portable power solutions. With an auto volt-charging feature which accepts 100-240V and 14V car battery charging where an internal circuit converts the 12V/14V source to a 24. Battery power level indicators with beeper and charging indicators come in handy to monitor the user's power consumption and charging status making the Tronix Explorer very user-friendly. Safety features include thermal shutdown, overload circuit protection circuit, and battery charge level and charging indicators.

A bi-voltage monolight has an input voltage of 90 to 240V compared to the single voltage flash which is either 110V OR 230V. Depending on the design of the monolight, it can automatically detect the voltage source or locks at the voltage source it detected upon powering up.

Check for your monolight/flash firmware, if applicable. For example, for Elinchrom monolights/flashes with firmware r2 and above, Tronix Explorer XTSE can support two (2) flashes at full power.

The convenience, reliability and value for money that Tronix Explorer battery packs boast would be reason enough to bring the equipment wherever a photographer travels and goes for work, and neds it most.
